Melodious Studies for French Horn by Erwin Miersch. $14.99
Erwin Miersch's popular study book 'Melodious Studies for French Horn' is as helpful, practical and relevant as it was when it was first published in 1970. The book includes 45 melodies, 8 duets, and a practice planner page for teacher and student to measure progress.
In a detailed explanation of his intentions, Erwin writes, "In reviewing the literature of French Horn exercises, I feel there is still an opportunity for additional studies, especially in the field of moderate difficulty. These exercises are intended to acquaint the student with various styles of music for tone production ad for technical development. Special attention should be given to the Phrasing, Articulation and Dynamics. Breathing should always occur after a longer note and at the end of a musical phrase. A thorough work-out of each exercise is the most essential in order to achieve the artistic development for which these exercises are intended."
